You need to know your point weight and whether you are shooting a medium cam or single/hard cam (compund bows obviously). Then go down that column until you get to your DW and then go right until you get to your DL and that will give you your "group". Once you know your group look in that box to get your spine.

Or you can put that info here and someone can look it up for you.

400 are softer spine than 300and usually lighter if you are dealing with the same shaft.

I found this guys site to be the most accurate in picking an arrow. He has a lot of neat tabs to do KE and all sorts of stuff.

thanks its giving loads of choices and 2514 is in there as well so still go with them i think cool site

RE: Arrow shafts ( am i doing something wrong ???)
 
Remember the charts are a guide,... not an absolute. You'll see his site list the first and second choice spine choices and most popular setups. It all depends on what you put above for head weight etc. You can also see what raising your point weight a little or lowering it will do. Also tabs for balistics, FOC and all sort of stuff.

EDIT: I believe the 2514 is only available in the XX78 shaft.

Pick a different arrow and change your point weight. It's not an absolute. No, no one will ship there because it cost to much.
